I started playing this and then I realized I'd seen part of Vimlark streaming it. If I remember correctly, I think it was you, might have been somebody else, was remarking about being disappointed about not finishing all animations ... but in a jam game, I think that's among the least important things. I had a blast with this short experience. All the extra frames for sprite animation might be lacking, but there was a ton in here. Hidden secrets! And I clicked and clicked away until I found that bonus stage, because I wanted more. And excellent dialogue and interaction with Whisker. It's hard enough to write well, it's even more difficult to dole that out properly in a game.
I thought this was great. Your tie to the theme and requirement were a little fuzzy, but the game was a blast and I'm glad I played it. Awesome solo dev submission. I really enjoyed my time with it.
